Carlson Leadership Academies

Posted by: Joseph McLoughlin

Seven brothers of the Pennsylvania Epsilon chapter attended the Carlson Leadership Academy in Hartford, Connecticut February 5-7. Acting as representatives for the executive board, they attended meetings with District Governor Joe Langella and discussed methods of improvement with other SigEp chapters in the region.  In addition, the Epsilon Rite of Passage was held for a brother from the host chapter, CT Epsilon (Quinnipiac University). PA Epsilon representatives learned many helpful skills that they may use to improve the chapter. Representatives attended modules specifically designed for each executive board position, allowing brothers from many different chapters to share unique perspectives and ideas for collective progress.  At the Awards Dinner, PA Epsilon was presented with three awards for their accomplishments: the AVC Operational Excellence Award, the Manpower Award, and the Scholarship Award.  Our brothers gained insightful knowledge that they may bring back to the chapter to facilitate further improvements so that we may continue our success in the future. When all was said and done, our representatives returned back to Bethlehem proudly with three awards. Thank you to all of our alumni, volunteers and undergraduate brothers who made this success possible!  Congratulations PA Epsilon!

 


Penn Epsilon Wins The Buchanan Cup

Posted by: Ben Wagman

Pennsylvania Epsilon chapter was awarded its 4th Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Award (commonly called the Buchanan Cup) in its 102 year history, and the second in 6 years.  The award ceremony took place at the national conclave in Orlando, FL in August 2009. In addition to being awarded the Buchanan Cup, the members of the Pennsylvania Epsilon Chapter were honored to be recognized with “Delegation3” ribbons to decorate their Conclave ID badges.  The Delegation3 ribbons are awarded to chapters who have “cubed” their total undergraduate representation.  Twelve undergraduate brothers were in attendance (up from just 2 undergraduates at the previous Conclave) with seven alumni brothers attending in support of the chapter. 

In addition, the Penn Epsilon chapter is proud to announce its representatives included one regional director, and recent graduate, in Mitch Goldich. This was the best showing that PA Epsilon has ever had at Conclave.  

The undergraduates would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to those alumni who contributed so generously toward their conclave registration fees.  Your contributions are the reason so many brothers were on hand to witness Penn Epsilon being awarded the highest honor Sigma Phi Epsilon bestows on any chapter.
